He pulled me by my wrist through the crowds of people and I had to nearly run to keep up with his long strides. He stopped when we reached an empty hall and he looked around before pulling me into one of the rooms.

He shut the door surprisingly calmly as we got in and pulled off his mask before turning to me, "Did he hurt you?" He asked, rubbing his thumb across my cheek and I shook my head, "No..."

He pressed his lips against mine and snaked his arm around my waist, pushing me more against the door. His kisses were rough and almost seemed desperate, he didn't give me a single second to catch my breath.

When he finally pulled away, he looked into my eyes and his lips hovered right over mine as he spoke, "Tell me no if you don't want this right now, tell me now so I can hold myself back before I won't be able to."

When I didn't say anything he cursed under his breath and let out a frustrated sigh, "Jeyri," his voice sounded almost strained as he spoke and I looked down and nodded, "You can..."

I felt tingles spread through my body as he rested his hand on my lower back. He kissed me again, his tongue pushing into my mouth, exploring every part of it.

"Do you know?" He whispered, between kisses, "I feel so...possessive over you." His lips brushed against mine as he spoke and he caressed my face, "I know you're not mine, yet and I can't explain why I feel like that but, I want to erase his touch off of you."

He brushed his fingers over my thighs making me let out a small moan and I felt my face heat up, "I don't want anyone else touching you that way... the way I want to touch you. I know that's selfish, I know wanting to keep you as mine is selfish but I can't help it with you."

He tilted my head slightly and trailed sloppy kisses down my neck, sucking on the soft skin there. He kissed down to my collarbone and my cleavage. "Are you trying to drive me crazy... wearing this?"

"You don't like it?" I asked and he paused. He placed his hand over mine and guided it down over his crotch and leaned his lower half against me, making my eyes widen. "Do you feel that? How hard you're making me? You tell me if you think I like it or not. What do you think?"

"Can I touch it?" I asked before I could even register what I, myself, was saying and he paused. He looked at me as if he was trying to process what I said and his mouth fell open "What did you say?" he asked and I shook my head.

"I didn't mean to. I just meant-"

"Shh, say it again."

"I asked if I could touch it..." I said, looking away from him and he sighed, "Oh, the things I would do to you right now Jeyri if we weren't here..." he groaned.

I could feel myself throbbing down there as those words left his mouth and I pressed my legs together. I rested my head against his shoulder and bit down on my lip, "Can I...?"

"No, because if you do... I'll end up wanting more than that, " he said, sliding his hand up my dress.

"Like what?" I whispered, and he chuckled, "Fucking hell Jeyri...Stai cercando di tentarmi?" (Are you trying to tempt me?)

"I don't under-" He sighed and lifted my head to his, looking right into my eyes, "Just know that I mean, this dress will be on the floor and everyone in this building is going to hear you moaning my name."

How am I supposed to calm down when he looks directly at me and says things like that.

He planted a kiss on my lips and pulled away from me, "Don't worry, mi assicurerò di scoparti più tardi." (I'll make sure to fuck you later.)

He placed his mask on my face before opening the room door and grabbed my hand as he walked out, "But they'll know if-"

"Then let them know, " he said, looking down at me with a smirk on his face, "They'll know anyway."

What?

Everyone's attention turned toward us as we walked back to where everyone was sitting and I wanted to hide behind him. He let me go right where Melanie and Astarte were sitting and walked back over to where he was sitting earlier and there was a few seconds of silence then the Damian guy spoke up, "Welcome back, Giovanni. I assume you had a nice time?" He asked and Gio looked over at me, "I did."

That's so misleading...

I looked toward Astarte and Melanie and their mouths both were dropped. "W-what?" I asked, my face heating up and Melanie hoed her hand over her chest and I frowned in confusion. Astarte pulled me in and whispered in my ear, "He really made sure no one was going to try hitting on you. You're covered in hickeys."

My eyes widened when I realized it and I looked over toward him. He was focused on his own conversation but he looked up and his eyes met mine. He winked at me before turning his focus back to the rest of everyone and I buried my head in my hands. Oh, God...

"You can always pull your hair to the front, " Melanie suggested and Astarte smirked, "Yes do that so he can walk over here and if it back. Yes, I am speaking from experience, take my word on it."

Absolutely not.

When they were done apparently, they all stood up and so did we. Damian and Gio shook hands in the end and I assume that meant they made a deal or something. He shook Sebastian's hand and when he went to shake Lucifer's and Matteo's they just stared at him and placed their hands in their pocket. Doesn't seem like they like each other at all.

He laughed it off and led us all back downstairs to the exit, "It was nice doing business with you, " he said to Giovanni, "Let's make another deal sometimes..."

"I'll think about it, "Gio said, waving his hand before turning around. He grabbed my hand and cleared his throat, "She'll be driving back with me, " He said to Matteo, "The rest of you can ride together."

He looked at me and he smiled, "We'll need a little privacy..."
